U+AF7C "꽼" Hangul Syllable Ggwaek is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script used for writing the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense, double 'g' or 'kk' sound) with the medial vowel "ㅙ" (the diphthong 'wae' pronounced like 'we' in English) and the final consonant "ㅋ" (the aspirated 'k' sound, written as 'k' at the end of a syllable).
